Like title
ui prompt add a shortcut to pick a word.
Command search make histories as completions
The global search currently has no completions because it does't have histories register.

Oh, I don't think I have seen this in other text editors but seemed like an interesting idea.

But wouldn't a history completion be more useful? Like fish.

In vim/neovim, we can use <c-r><c-w> to fast pick the word under cursor. But I think using completions is more ergonomics.

What do you think this PR?
I often need to search for a word for maintain a project.
Personly I think picking a word searched more faster is very useful.

It seemed to only complete the word under the cursor. I doubt I am gonna need it. What is your use case?

I'm still thinking about this, it seems similar to what you can do with miw*nnnn (miw to select word, * to set search to main selection, then n to search).

My main purpose is for global search. It also reduces the keys inputed on document search.

@cossonleo cossonleo changed the title add completions for search and global search prompt add a shortcut c-s to pick a word under cursor. command search make histories as completions. Oct 29, 2021

Can you please update the book for this key as well? Also, can also add a comment there that this will probably be changed to ctrl-r w later (that will probably be done together with an infobox).

Nice, looks good to me. Only left some minor text fix on the doc.

Should we limit the amount of items? The rendering UI will already limit it to a maximum

It may affect performance When completions computed compete_fn with clone is large.
I have changed to 200. Do you think it need to cancel limit?
